Lines.-oft On That Latest Star Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| Oft on that latest star of purest light | A |
| That hovers on the verge of morning gray | B |
| I gaze and think of eyes that gleam'd as bright | A |
| As fondly linger'd and yet pass d away | B |
| - | |
| While this true heart in every throb can tell | C |
| 'Tis changeless since the first fond hour we met | D |
| While at thy name it wakes as to a spell | C |
| I feel 'tis not in nature to forget | D |
| - | |
| Thou canst not have forgot the tender hour | E |
| When we our parting tears together shed | F |
| Thou canst not have forgot the fading flower | E |
| That ask'd thy hand to raise its drooping head | F |
| - | |
| Thy voice thy looks thy sighs too truly spoke | G |
| Oh how could they deceive thyself and me | H |
| No death alone the bond of truth has broke | G |
| And cast oblivion on the world and thee | H |
